Hehhh, i will precisice my problem, maybe you mitunderstood me... I want to carry out my application with the file association, but generally the file will be locked from the shell... I hoped it exists any shell settings to share the file... :)

Hello... This is very guru like solution... :) Big Thx, greets from germany...

I've used DrawText() with DT_CALCRECT, when the string is long enough, then the speed will be very slow.

Big Thx... I have make some tests and it works fine... :-D

Ehmmm... I have found the bug or better my own mistake... I forget the different resolutions between the screen and printer dc... The distance between the 3 strings was to small to see them completly... For example.: dc.TextOut(0,0,text,text.GetLength()); dc.TextOut(0,400,text,text.GetLength()); dc.TextOut(0,800,text,text.GetLength()); woks...
